Based on this, the question and concern of the present writing is: "How does understanding the crisis caused by pandemics and the measures taken by governments regarding them, within the historical sphere of Iran, help in recognizing the current politics of Iran?" In this regard, by employing the approach of Giorgio Agamben and following Carl Schmitt and Walter Benjamin, while emphasizing the state of exception in the specific conditions of societies, we believe that Iranian society, on one hand, like other societies, has in some cases been affected by the requirements arising from the establishment of exceptional conditions, including the suspension of law, and on the other hand, due to the lack of legal enforcement or ambiguity in its provisions, has suffered from a double problem.
